VOL.3

Yan Baiyao threw his coat onto the bed, irritably tugged at his tie, and strode to the window, pulling the entire curtain open with a swift motion. The villa across the way was still dark, indicating that Yu Baitian had not yet returned.

It's just an ordinary friend! Bro, why are you asking so much? Isn't it annoying?

Yan Baiyao hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. One finger is not a small number. Even if he nodded in agreement, it would still need to pass through the board of directors. However, as long as he is willing, this is not a difficult problem. His gaze slowly shifted to the window, where the unique celadon light of the morning had already faintly seeped in.

However, after spending a long time together, due to their personalities, even two people who are in love can experience various frictions and even arguments. Every time they quarrel, especially when he is angry, she is actually very afraid that he will mention breaking up. I remember one time, they had a very intense argument. She said nothing, sitting opposite him with her knees hugged, silently shedding tears. It reminded him of the time when that child was not around; she was the same then, with her round eyes wide open, looking blank and lost, while her tears fell like beads from a broken string, one by one.

What is your decision? Yan Baiyao pressed on relentlessly, simply asking for a clear answer

Yan Baiyao entered the Yu family's living room with a stern expression, arms crossed over his chest: "Where have you been? You still remember to come home?" The visibly confused Yu Baitian, who was heavily fatigued, replied: "Brother, are you drunk? I don't come back at this time every night!"

Tang Handong let out a lazy yawn and said: "Did I not tell you earlier? It has already been rejected. However, according to the information I have received, Old Wang has no way to deal with us anymore, but he is still in contact with other banks"

Yan Baiyao finally calmed down. Indeed, this kid comes back at this time every day; it was his own anger that clouded his judgment and caused him to lose his reason momentarily

Yu Boitian looked up in surprise: "Brother, how did you know? Hey, brother, you are almost becoming a sage!"

That feeling of heartache has continuously affected him, and even now, it remains the same

After staying up all night, Yan Baiyao called Tang Handong early in the morning and got straight to the point, asking: "What is their loan limit?"

Whenever she was about to get angry, she would call him by his full name. This time, he finally obeyed and closed his eyes seriously. He felt her pull one of his hands over, and something circular was placed on his middle finger. He instantly understood. When she commanded him to open his eyes, what he saw was indeed a ring, a matching couple's ring with hers.

Yan Baiyao's heart skipped a beat, and his gaze became sharp: "What friend? What is their surname? What is their name?"

He still remembers when he was in California, he only drank beer, can after can. As for her, she initially abstained from alcohol, but later, under his cunning persuasion, she began to occasionally try a little. Not drinking is one thing, but once she started, she couldn't hide it; one can made her tipsy, two cans got her completely drunk. Adorably clumsy, she clung to him like a koala, refusing to let go no matter how he coaxed or pulled. Frightened, he later issued strict warnings and threats, insisting that she promise never to drink when he was not around.

He had no choice but to keep one eye closed while secretly watching her with the other. Her hand was rummaging in her pocket, and when she turned her head, she caught him red-handed: "Yan Baiyao, you actually dare to peek. Do you want to die or something?"

He gradually hooked out the object with his index finger, and what caught his eye was a men's ring. It was of a very ordinary style, made of platinum

He spoke evasively, completely missing the point, which instantly enraged Yan Baiyao: "I asked you where you went and what you did!"

Yu Baitian put away his usual playful demeanor: "Brother, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by 'a woman like her'? Besides, I have been an adult for a long time, I know what I am doing"

Tang Handong was cradling the warm and soft jade of a good dream when he received a phone call. Still in a daze, he momentarily failed to respond: "What?"

He actually felt that this style was too ordinary; what he wanted to give her had to be the best. He took her hand and led her to the diamond ring counter, allowing her to choose. As soon as she glanced at the price tag, her first reaction was to turn and lean close to his ear: "Bai Yao, it's too expensive here, I don't want it! I just want that pair. Is that okay?" He knew she was being considerate of him, as even the ordinary diamond rings from that brand would require him to work for a year or two, not to mention those that were slightly better. Unable to resist her, he ended up buying her a platinum ring.

She threatened him: "Yan Baiyao, close your mouth when I tell you to. Otherwise, I guarantee you will regret it!"

She instantly widened her eyes, tugging at his collar, her lips pouting, a shade pinker than cherry blossoms, and said: "Why not? Do you dare not to ask?"

Tang Handong yawned and said, "Why are you so impatient..."

Yan Baiyao coldly ground his teeth: "Tang Handong!"

At that time, she always liked to nestle in his arms, lingering in bed, and would only get up after he called her several times. Sometimes, she would deliberately cover her head with the blanket, pretending not to hear, and continue sleeping. Each time she got up, she would definitely rub her eyes, walk unsteadily with her bare feet, and hug his waist from behind, reluctantly mumbling: "I still want to sleep!" She was truly a little rascal.

Yubaitian said: "Brother, what is wrong with you? You never interfered with my friendships before."

It was nearly midnight. Yan Baiyao, feeling agitated, took a bottle of wine, poured a full glass, and downed it in one go.

He gently tapped her nose and said: "Baby, you wouldn't be hoping for me to propose to you, would you?"

Bai Yao, how is this pair? I like this one!" She tilted her head to seek his opinion, her smile more enchanting than the flowing light of April

She affectionately wrapped her arms around his neck: "This way, I am not afraid of you running away. Because I have ensnared you as well; you belong to me. Whoever dares to compete with me, I will fight her with a kitchen knife!" When she spoke, she always seemed carefree. However, later on, she ended up with someone else; perhaps the ring he bought at that time was too ordinary to keep her. Yet he was ensnared by her and has not managed to escape until now.

Yu Bo Tian smiled and said: "Brother, it seems you are really drunk. I am going to sleep, I won't accompany you in your madness. I, after all, have finally met someone I like. I will not give up easily." She did not approach him at all; instead, she sought every opportunity to be with her. Moreover, the longer he spent with her, the more he felt that she was a very pleasant person.

She smiled and opened her eyes: "Bai Yao, it is now your turn to close your eyes."

Tang Handong finally regained some clarity, holding onto the warm and soft figure beside him, and said irritably: "Are you out of your mind? Can't you see what time it is in Beijing right now? If you have energy to spare, go find a woman to..."

It seems that Yan Baiyao is on the verge of an outburst, and Tang Handong does not dare to procrastinate any longer: "One finger!"

After they got together, she never asked him for anything. That day was her birthday, and he originally hoped to surprise her, but she was straightforward and expressed her desire for him to give her a ring

Yu Boitian lazily tossed the car keys aside and then yawned widely: "I am heading to the game development studio. We are about to launch a new game!"

The harsh sound of the engine reached his ears, and Yan Baiyao hurried to the floor-to-ceiling window. Sure enough, Yu Baitian had returned. Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was already close to 2:00. This kid actually knows how to come back!

Yan Baiyao simply said: "Just do as you are told, consider it as me owing you a favor."

Yan Baiyao raised an eyebrow: "Are you saying that no matter how poor the character of this woman is, you do not mind, you do not care?"

Yan Baiyao took a deep breath, slowly walked back to the bedside, and sat down dejectedly. After a long silence, he reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out a black wallet. He stared at the wallet for a long time, then slowly opened it. Gently, he probed with his index finger into the inner layer and finally touched a hard circle at the very bottom. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and in an instant, his entire demeanor softened.

He spent last night relaxing with Yan Baiyao. None of Yan Baiyao's reactions escaped his notice. Especially when he saw Yu Baitian and Wang Shuimo together, his expression turned a shade greener than iron.

From then on, there would be no future for him and her...

Thinking of the child who once resided in her womb, a wave of guilt surged forth, and Yan Baiyao slowly embraced her, holding her for a long time without letting go

Although many years have passed, Yan Baiyao still clearly remembers the moment he placed the ring on her finger. As he slid the ring onto her finger, she gently closed her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes trembling, as if out of nervousness, or perhaps out of anticipation

Yu Bo Tian ran his fingers through his hair again, appearing somewhat embarrassed: "I am taking a friend to a certain place"

From now on, he can also live his life with peace of mind

"What are you doing?" he asked her, puzzled. She simply smiled, her entire being resembling a flower slowly blooming, its petals gradually unfurling, until it fully blossomed within his heart

She should no longer frequently appear in his mind in the future

Upon hearing this, Tang Handong seemed to be invigorated as if he had just received a shot of adrenaline, and he perked up: "Yan, what do you mean by that?" It is important to note that this group of people already has its own circle. They inevitably encounter each other frequently, and there is always some degree of camaraderie among them. The fact that Young Master Yan is willing to owe them such a significant favor today is undoubtedly problematic, and a major issue at that. How could he let him off so easily? Driven by an unrelenting spirit of "seeking knowledge," he inquired, "Yan, what exactly is going on? Please share! As brothers, we can help you analyze it together."

Yan Baiyao's anger immediately flared up. This woman, had he not warned her to stay away from Bai Tian? He said coldly: "Don't tell me you have feelings for her! A woman like her is not suitable for you."

Yan Baiyao impatiently repeated, "I ask you, how much does the one with the surname Wang want to borrow?"

He smiled and said, "Why not ask? You are destined to be my wife. I've got you trapped; let's see if you dare to run off with anyone else in the future!" She shot him a glance, but the corners of her mouth rose high, unable to contain her laughter

Yan Baiyao tugged at his lips, revealing a cold smile: "I am only afraid that someone has ulterior motives and is deliberately getting close to you"

Yan Baiyao continued to stare intently: "Could it be Wang Shuimo?"

Is there something going on early in the morning? Which day does he not sleep until the sun is high in the sky before getting up? Upon hearing this, Yan Baiyao asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Very well, let the child consider that he owes her. Since the two have already severed all ties, he will help her this once, as if he is repaying her, on the condition that she will no longer appear in his life from now on. He does not want to be easily swayed by her emotions again, with his feelings of joy and anger no longer under his control

After a while, he finally pulled his thoughts back and impatiently glanced at his watch. It was already 12:30! In modern society, some open-minded individuals have overly casual relationships between men and women; one-night stands are no longer a novelty. He had experienced such things himself, and today, she had a request of Yu Baitian. It was quite normal to give a little sweetness before getting down to business. The more he thought this way, the more restless he became. After drinking a bottle of wine, he still felt unsatisfied.

The more he thought this way, the more restless he became. After drinking a bottle of wine, he still felt unsatisfied. After finishing the last glass, he stood by the window, unable to contain his anger any longer, and suddenly raised his hand to throw the wine glass forcefully out of the window. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound at all. The wine glass landed on the thick lawn, still without a sound.

Yu Baitian patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, you smell strongly of alcohol. Hurry home to wash up and get some sleep, I need to sleep too. There are things to do early tomorrow morning!"

He will have his wife and his children in the future

Yan Baiyao said lightly: "Help me greet a few other banks, and consider this matter as me owing you a favor, do not get involved!"

Yan Baiyao impatiently interrupted him, asking: "How much?"

Tang Handong was about to speak when he heard the busy tone on the phone. The more this happened, the more it indicated that Yan Baiyao was indeed problematic, significantly problematic! However, this guy was truly annoying; so early in the morning, he didn't let anyone have peace. As Tang Handong turned his head, he found Wen Xiangruo Yu already awake, her eyes shimmering like water, enchanting and alluring. He couldn't help but feel a surge of blood and kissed her: "Darling, did I wake you up..."
